In your bag 268, Alex Tran
Todays bag is a nice simple set up, film and digital working in harmony, whoever said it couldn’t happen. Come and have a look at Alex’s bag.

Hey everyone, my name is Alex Tran and I’m an engineering student in the Greater Boston Area. I’ve started really getting into photography 2 years ago when I bought my first DSLR from a close friend. First, I was very interested in photographing toys/figures (or as I like to call phoTOYgraphy). I made a series of my Sackboy and Danbo figures posed in different real life situations. Later on I focused more in night photography, taking long exposures of the cityscape in Boston. More recently, I’ve started doing portraits and started a series called ‘Floating Fridays’ where I post an airborne-themed photo every week.

My bag today contains a mixture of digital and film. The Incase DSLR sling bag carries it all well and comfortably with quick and easy access. On top I have my Canon 60D with 3 primes lenses: 50mm f/1.4, 15mm f/2.8, and 28mm f/1.8. I mostly shoot with primes because they have great sharpness and depth-of-field. Also in my bag are some digital accessories: extra batteries, remote and a film container with SD cards (how ironic)

I’ve only recently ventured into the world of film, and I’m loving every bit of it! I have a Minolta Hi-Matic 7SII rangefinder which I’ve restored myself. I love the build quality and compactness of this camera, and I can discreetly bring it around with me. Even more recently I obtained a worn Yashica Electro 35 GT. Almost everything seems to be functioning well (even the dreaded ‘Pad of Death’ is okay). I hope to give this a good clean and I’ll run a roll through it soon.
